NOTES: We departed Singapore in low clouds, heading for a touching ceremony: the equator crossing! In absence of Champagne we had a toast with the water jar and Cpt. Di Napoli issued a special certificate “real time”. Uneventful landing in Jakarta with a quick preparation for the next flight.

NOTES: Jokes from the inter-tropical front: bad (to say the least) weather in our route, with heavy rain for most of this leg. Today was a sort of “IMC festival” and eventually we had a night time close encounter with a CB still in good activity. 15 minutes with rain, lightnings and frequent control’s full deflection. Violent up and downdrafts helped us remind how much respect must be given to such weather phenomena (specially at night, felice is adding). Special thanks to James Teng for his help to find landing charts.
